FAQs

Originating in the 19th century, pier cabinets were low, narrow freestanding storage pieces designed to fit against the wall spaces between large windows, often featuring glazed doors and inlay decorative work.

Cabinets of this era were typically constructed using rich timber veneers such as walnut or rosewood, augmented with hand-cut marquetry inlays, glass panels, and solid brass fittings.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-cut joinery, period-correct brass hardware, original glass panes with slight optical distortions, and natural surface patination across the wood finish.

Position the piece in a hallway, home office, or alcove to contrast traditional timber craftsmanship against clean, modern wall tones and contemporary art.

Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth, apply high-grade natural beeswax twice a year along the timber grain, and keep the piece clear of direct sunlight and radiators to avoid veneer movement.
